Notes

Copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
Allspice: Allspice is a brown berry from a myrtle tree or pimenta dioica. It was called allspice because when ground it resembles a mixture of several other spices. I also love the allspice in this Jamaican Jerk Sauce.
Ground Coriander: Coriander is made from the seeds of a cilantro plant. Coriander shines in this Pakistani Chicken Karahi Recipe.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon is popular in sweet dishes in the United States but it is used to bring warmth and complexity to many Lebanese dishes. For another taste of cinnamon, try out this Cinnamon Tea Recipe!
Ground Nutmeg: Nutmeg is another spice used in many sweet dishes. It comes from the myristica plant. I love the nutmeg notes in this Stoemp recipe from Belgium.
Cumin: Cumin is a very popular spice in the Middle East and is actually part of the parsley family. Cumin is popular in Mexican cuisine but it is used around the world, like in this Jeera Aloo Recipe (Cumin Potatoes) from Bangladesh.
Black Pepper: Black pepper adds a hint of spice and warmth to the mixture. It is best when freshly ground. A classic example of black pepper is this Bucatini Cacio e Pepe from Italy.
Ground Cloves: Cloves are a very fragrant spice made from flower buds. Cloves are a common addition in this Haitian Seasoning Blend called Haitian Epis.
There are plenty of variations of this spice mixture. Don’t be afraid to make it your own! If you prefer one flavor profile over another, play around with the ratios slightly.
If you are using this spice mixture to season meat, you can use one teaspoon per pound of meat.
Use a funnel to put your mixture in a jar for later storage. It helps a lot!
